Yamaha FZ description

2014 Yamaha FZ09EGY, Yamahas new FZ-09 is a class-breaking motorcycle designed to get motorcycling going again. For $900 less than the price of an FZ8 and $491 more than a 2013 Honda NC700X, this new 847cc three-cylinder naked puts a ton of the trickle-down technology of MotoGP into a sit-up standard for the first time. Its engineering is aimed not at staying within the narrow boundaries of a class but at delivering strong performance where riders actually use itin the midrange and from the bottom.Just before the economic downturn hit in 2008, sportbikes had become so tightly focused on performance that their true purpose had become to win the World Superbike Championship. Their specialization hurt broad sales appeal.What about the average rider? Doesnt he/she need and want the rideability advantages brought by a controlled-flex chassis, ride-by-wire fueling and a multi-mode engine? The tooling costs of these advanced racing/sportbike features have now been paid, and its time to offer them to all riders. This is the future of motorcycling.
